Not really. Try looking in /usr/local/mysql/bin where on most *nixs the start-up 
script resides (safe_mysqld).

To modify it there is a file called /etc/rc.local (or rc.local). See if this has been 
altered. There is also the error log called hostname.err which will give you (and 
anybody else trying to help) a more verbose message than the one you've posted.

Regards,

Phil.

p.s. I'm getting a "Sorry. Your message could not be delivered to:
w3d3demo (Mailbox or Conference is full.)" when posting to your address (in the To: 
Field).
